I Want To Cross The Rubicon

There is a multi-million dollar self help industry but so far the benefits have accrued to the few whilst the rest get a temporary morale boost for their dreams and that is it. The current financial crisis has put this industry under scrutiny and put some realities into perspective. I have read a number of self help books over the last couple of years as I have chased a entrepreneurial dream and many times I have fallen shot because I still cannot find the key to crack the code

Even If You Do Not Want To Hear It There Is Always A Price To Pay

Some people are content with their lives they might be envious but they are content and are not willing to make the sacrifices to attain what other successful people have managed to get. Some are in search of the secret that will make everything work without exerting effort

My greatest fear is that will become another dead beat blog with no purpose than massaging my bruised ego.  I do not want that I am not interested in numbers for numbers sake I want to make a difference in my life and other people's lives.

People sometimes focus on the wrong beliefs

Can you really be anything you want? If anything. the world has shown that we cannot just do anything and expect to succeed. The people who become exceptional in their chosen fields did not just get there because they dreamed and believed it. Most of them had to go through rigorous hours of training and practice in order to become masters of their own domain.

Some people try to live on their intelligence alone or luck but in most cases you need to put in the labor to make transformations. You cannot think things into reality without acting on your thoughts.

Identify the talent

Practice there is no substitute for practice because you can work on your weaknesses and make the right adjustments

Hard work is not about producing a boatload of sweat rather it is about doing the right things at the right time in a consistent and disciplined manner. The people who think they worked hard and did not get their just returns might not have been working in the right way.

I have been writing my e-book series for the past two years and the first book in the series will be released in May.

One Size Does Not Fit All

Too many generalizations, just because it worked for some people does not mean that it will work for you. We are unique individuals and there is no one fit solution for everyone. We all deal with the challenges of life differently.


Not having enough courage to get up and start doing. Some people might see the need to change but it is difficult for them to take the steps necessary to apply what they have been reading about. I am reluctant to be a writer because I am still struggling to come up with a marketing strategy that will get me enough sales from the African market.

At the same time people might not know how to apply the information that they have been given. Information on its own without the correct tools will remain as it is. I am not yet internet savvy to drive enough traffic fr the books.

Everything must be based on realistic expectation; there is no magic bullet to solving problems. Obviously there have been people who have used the self help industry to promote their own greed without regard for people who are searching for real solutions. Fast and easy or instant are not the by words you should be looking for when you want something that will transform your life.

It does not matter that you come from a rich family or a poor family you are not without a talent you can use to make a place for yourself in the world. Success is not for the lucky few who have been destined to rise above all others. All of us have witnessed the true fact that failure is part of every social background.

I Want To Cross The Rubicon

All great army generals never underestimated their enemies. People sometimes think that it will be an easy ride to the top. Their calculations do not acknowledge that it will take sweat, time for them to realize their goals This is why get rich quick schemes are always flourishing even when people know that when things are too good to be true they usually are. I wonder if my strategy will work, will I get the numbers


Consistent Action is part of the tools you need to succeed but that action has to be directed at achieving the goal because there are people who work very hard but at the end of the day they become disillusioned because they feel that their work has not been rewarded with the same amount of success. This is true for some effort does not relate to outcome; then again some of us use our energy to look busy when we are not really doing anything.


There is no easy formula everything you try will have problems and challenges that you need to fix and overcome. The problem with some people is that they give up too early. If you do not meet obstacles then you will not attain greatness because people are considered great as a result of the size of the obstacles they have overcome.

Essentially not failing involves being responsible for what happens to you. Not everything that happens to you is a result of external forces but it is a manifestation of the choices that have been made.

Even inspiration needs to be refilled from time to time.
